O Sleep - Lisa Hannigan

O Sleep' come for me' I will go quietly'

Where the roof doesn't leak in my heart

O Sleep' come for me'

I'm a boat' sprung a leak'

I'll hide and you'll seek a new start

For me Until dawn' I'll be too gone

To care how grey the day is

The dreams that it chases away'

They stay asleep

O Sleep' come for me'

I will come willingly'

Like a leaf from a tree in October

O Sleep' come for me' I wait hopefully

I was drunk on a dream' now I'm sober

From now until dawn'

It can't be too long for me'

I count the hours

'Til I sleep with your feet by my feet'

From now until dawn'

It can't be too long for me'

I count the hours

'Til I sleep with your feet by my feet'

Your breath on my cheek' asleep

End
